I am sure you have already received instructions from your plastic surgeon on this subject, but I can tell you what we tell our patients.

In the first days after out-patient tummy tuck and liposuction, we want our patients walking at home actively.  After a week we suggest walking out of the home.  After 2 weeks most can drive their car.  After 6 weeks most can resume self-paced calisthenics, cardio, and light weights.  They can do easy abdominal exercises.  After a few more weeks of gradually resuming their routines they may push themselves to achieve prior goals.  Follow your plastic surgeon's guidelines.
